We are well on our way to a fun, successful Plant Swap on the 21st of October. So far, about 15 folks are attending, with the date still more than two months in the future. I have been as busy as a bee potting plants and starting seeds. My offerings, so far, will be heirloom tomato & pepper plants, a few herbs, a couple kinds of kenafs, some ruellia and a few Sago palm pups. I am starting some cuttings of "Blue Sky, thunbergias, some pink and some red mandevilla vines and some purple "Poor ManÂs Orchids," epidendrums. My husband, Bruce, is busy seeding more African tulip trees, eucalyptus citridoria and pineapple guavas. Plant freaks R Us! Anyone have water gardens? We may have a couple of extra lotus plants. Keep spreading the word and see you soon, Diana

Hi, Y'all I'm looking for old time Butter Beans, you know the ones you shell out of the dried out pods to soak in water then cook:) Their like a big O'lima bean but a light yellowish color, and sweet to the taste. If ya got em, let me know, I have lots of seed(s) to trade for em:) Pardon the pun I could not help it being a Yankee! Thanks, Ron:) This post was edited by farmer_rons_patch on Sat, Dec 13, 14 at 7:51

Yea, don't need manure though I do know many who have access to it are very happy, especially if the source has such vast quantities that some of it is already aged by the time they get around to asking if anyone wants some. But as for composting in tumblers, you can read up on how people like or dislike that method. Just some more stuff to learn as you go. Have fun composting!
